Flower Power

With April Showers come May Flower...Crowns! Flower Crowns are having a moment in the sun on social media networks such as; Instagram, popular blogs, & Pinterest. Why? Flower crowns are chic, unique, & ultra cool. Plus, they are so simple to make you'll be flabbergasted.

Personally, I like the more decadent, fuller flower crowns, but you can go as big or small as you want. The DIY project list is pretty simple:

A silk/satin headband

Hot glue/glue gun

Silk flowers of your choice

Pink Peonies

Basically, you just cut your flowers and adhere them to your liking onto the headband with your hot glue. Allow for dry time and then you are all set.

I can see it now...you are the bell of Coachella, the bridal party, and the misty summer soiree.

Coachella & other summer festivals are just beginning.
Therefore, you may be treating yourself to the sweetest treat that can be
found on a stick--Cotton Candy. Cotton candy goes together with
festivals & boardwalks as peanut butter does to jelly. However, a
certain sweet company by the name of, PetitePuf Cotton Candy has
been able to refine this fun fair themed treat.

PetitePuf
Cotton Candy is not your typical fluffy
spun sugar on a stick. No, they have taken cotton candy & have made it more
sophisticated & whimsical. The company packages their candy creations in
suave glass jars (sticks are still an option!). Their confections are so
elegant that they appear at the likes of bridal showers, weddings, baby
showers, & chic Sunday brunches to name a few.

So, what's the secrete behind
PetitePuf? How'd they get to be so gourmet? Check out this Yellow Spectacle exclusive! No dentists

Yellow
Spectacles: Cotton Candy--How did you see a
opportunity in cotton candy?

PetitePuf: I have always loved
loved loved sweets! (Seriously, you should see my candy cupboard at home!)
Cotton Candy holds so many special childhood memories for me and the magic of
it has always been so captivating! When I got married five years ago I was
looking for the unique event services that we offer and my search turned up
empty! Cotton candy came to mind so I got to brainstorming and the rest is
history! PetitePuf offer a unique all-inclusive entertainment experience complete
with decor and a spinning artist AND we offer special, organic,
all-natural cotton candy flavors freshly spun at your next private
event or party!

YS:
What would you like others to know about cotton candy--there is the stereo-type
that its a "fair food"

PP: We have put a new spin on traditional
cotton candy! Gone are the days of pink and blue
flavors! PetitePuf offers sophisticated and fun cotton
candy like Chai, Mango Chili, Strawberry Lemonade, Salted Caramel and
French Vanilla. Our Ingredients are Organic and All-Natural and we cater to
private events, corporate parties and lots of weddings with our mobile

PP: We

so receptive to great new food trends and ideas! We are also very unique
and visual event services and put a lot of emphasis on our customer
service - which we think has been reasons to help us grow!

YS: Flavors? Do you
guys have a favorite? And what's your biggest seller?

PP: My favorites are our Chai,
French Vanilla, and our new Salted Carmel. (They are all sooooo good its hard
to pick just one!) Other favorites are our Mango Chilli and Strawberry
and our Twinkle Twinkle (Coconut covered with twinkly edible stars)
is also very popular!

Mmmm....thanks to
